What technology roles are most in demand heading into 2016?

MSPs could see continued demand for project and consulting work, which will “likely remain abundant” next year, according to Robert Half. Beyond that, 2016 looms as a strong year for developers, with high demand for those with .NET, PHP and MySQL skills; in fact, professionals with those skills could command an extra 8 percent in salary above the projected range for developer roles, the study found.

In addition, the study revealed that North American businesses are hiring for other roles with notable projected increases in their salary ranges, notably business analysts, quality assurance professionals, systems engineers, systems administrators, database administrators, business intelligence analysts, and help desk/support specialists.
